Another problem with war crimes is the assumption of one morality and imposing it on all nations.
We like to assume that our interpretation of what is moral and what is right is the correct one. This is all well and good till you walk into someone who does not share your interpretation. This situation itself has led to a large number of armed conflicts.
You end up prosecuting someone under your laws who genuinely did nothing wrong under his own legal system.
